If the fruity lot do get involved with Tesla, then that's a dream car off my list :(

Why? Are you picturing it as a normal model which only plays music through your iPhone?

Far more likely you'd see an "i" version of existing Teslas, they need to keep their customer base wide.

Re: What is that?

It is very popular but it's not quite an "everyone has it" app along the lines of FaceBook or Twitter. Unless your friends use it, you might not have heard about it.

Isn't $16bn twice what Skype sold for?

"While a financial success for the box shifter in Nintendo, the console itself was an epic fail"

Being a financial success is the only thing that really matters.

Re: As an optional extra, fine

There is no way there would be a whole Apple-specific model. Developing the core model is a massive undertaking, to the extend the same base model is sometimes used by more than one manufacturer, so there is no way an "iCar" wouldn't be a rebadged version of something else.

Re: Well at least it doesn't make you look stupid!

You'd hardly know he was wearing it!

Also, "AR" clearly is a real term. It means "reality with extra stuff that isn't really there".

"JDX once again show how many Americans think only their laws apply"

I do no such thing. If you read my post you'll see I asked a simple, unbiased question which also failed to even hint at my nationality (hint: not American).

Also, I didn't ask about laws regarding data protection, or internet privacy. I asked about privacy in the wider sense; is privacy a right which can therefore be extended to the internet, or is all this clamour about privacy being a "human right" actually based on a falsehood?

"to me that seems to be a matter of M, F or Other"

But that system puts everything other than M/F as a 2nd tier. It would be like saying to a bisexual person "you must identify as Gay, straight or other (please specify)".

Shock horror, old fans like old version!

Re: If you got a computer you don't buy Windows 8.

>>If you get a pad you don't get one with Windows 8. Why would you?

Because you use it for work, not just for Netflix, email and web-browsing. Just make sure it's not the RT version!

Re: Well it is now the most commonly used database server....

Amazon offer MSSQL, Oracle, etc as well as MySQL (or Maria). I wonder if they release stats on number of nodes using each?

Re: Maybe there is hope for Wall St. yet?

Beating Icahn might push up stock prices meaning he still wins though.

Re: Gamer's rights

So you reckon he should've changed it to cost $5?

I think the parents are supposed to set an example of the value of hard work by doing some themselves, not sit about on their arses and make the kids do all the chores ;)

or when the OS crashes and it bricks in mid air

Your modern car is already computer controlled but you don't drive along worried the OS might crash.

Drones colliding should be easily overcome with collision avoidance that overrides human input. Watch a big flock of birds and you'll see thousands in close proximity without any communication, yet they don't bump into each other.

Re: No one told them?

Indeed. Loads of custom apps feature embedded browser functionality for instance.

Re: I really like my C720 Chromebook but ...

I think most is a vast exaggeration. For most, the fact you can get them as fast as you can watch them is enough.

What business has he ever started and built from the ground up?

Who cares? Running a massive corporation is not like starting a startup. Totally different in fact.

Look at GOOG's worth when he joined, and now. Case closed.

Re: Expensive

Battlefield 4 is in a whole different league to these games though.

Gonna point me at the law which says that is their duty?

Um, you seem to piss the point. If it was the law he would've said it was the law, not that it was their duty. It can't be the law for it to be your duty because then it's not your duty, it's the law.

Re: Intresting

Has anyone done that yet? You could print the whole sheet AS a solar cell except where it was used for circuitry.
